What’s It Going to Take For You To Be Convinced Of Homeownership?

How much evidence is needed to make a decision to get out of the rent race and become a homeowner?

Compare your rent with a mortgage payment on a similar size property. If you want a larger home than your current one, use the rent that property would require instead of what you’re currently paying. If it’s considerably cheaper, you may not need any further encouragement.

By the time you consider the principal reduction, appreciation and tax savings, your monthly cost of housing could be much less than the rent you’re paying.

The principal reduction included in each payment is like a forced savings account that increases as your mortgage balance decreases. Your equity in the property will also grow due to appreciation. The equity is part of your net worth and an investment in your family’s future.

The income tax savings can be an additional financial consideration if the combined interest and property taxes exceed the allowable standard deduction.

Trends are showing that both tenants and homeowners are staying in their homes longer. It’s been said that whether you rent or own, you’re paying for the home. Do you really want to buy the home for your landlord? Let’s make it happen today-call me at 952-929-2577

Let me introduce myself. My name is John Mazzara. I have worked in the financial services since 1986. I began my career selling real estate and expanded my services to include mortgage services. I have also owned and managed rental real estate for myself and others. I've even written a book about it called "Reality Based Real Estate Investing" which is available at Amazon.com or can be viewed online at http://www.slideshare.net/mnguru.

So, How can I help YOU? It all comes down to this-knowledge, experience and trust. When you select someone to help you, make SURE they have all three. You are about to make one of the biggest purchases of your life. Don't take the selection of an agent lightly. My background and experience as a trusted advisor has helped hundreds of families throughout the Twin Cities make the right decision.

I sincerely hope you will take a moment to meet and interview me to see if we are a match. I promise to do my best in making the home buying and/or home selling process as painless and fun as possible.

Take just a moment and visit my main websites. I share a wealth of information.

I have completed the following distressed property certifications as my commitment to the REO and distressed property environment in which we work in today: CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert), Certified HAFA Specialist, RDCPro (REO Default Certified Professional) after completing the REO Best Practices & Advanced Evaluations, and REO Certified fka FSP (Five Star Professional) after finishing the required course work from the Five Star Institute . I also work within the Equator fka REOtrans and RES.net system. Within the Equator system, I have been Platinum Certified as well as REO & Short Sale Certified.

NAR has a certification for BPO’s (Broker Price Opinions) and valuations called the BPOR. I’ve been certified for that as well.

Demonstrating my continued commitment to provide value to real estate investors, especially in light of all the distressed real estate and opportunities that they present within the marketplace today, I have completed the CIAS (Certified Investor Agent Specialist) designation. This program and its training provide additional information and resources that augment the real estate investment classes and real estate investment book that I have written and created. With my CIAS affiliation, I have access to a number of different investment analysis calculators and worksheets as well as supplemental information that my clients can utilize determining if a particular property is right for them in helping them reach their investment goals. While real estate investing is not without risk, and there are no guarantees it will be profitable, it may be something to consider once you have researched the topic thoroughly. I have completed the OwnAmerica OICP-OwnAmerica Investment Certification Program. They have some great information and a FREE learning course where you can learn how to analyze properties and source demographic trends .

In an ongoing commitment to conservation, I have completed NAR’s Green Designation. I am a NAR Green Designee who has completed training from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) to help home buyers and sellers make educated decisions about green materials and upgrades, energy-efficient technology, green ratings, green design, green incentives, and more. NAR Green Designees have a broad knowledge on green topics and can have a positive effect on their community.

Have you ever considered building a new home as an option? This can be done with a smaller local builder or a national builder. I have represented clients in BOTH situations. It doesn’t cost you anything more to have me represent you in this situation and I can bring you added value in the process. New construction IS an option for your next home! I have personally purchased new construction from the concept to the completed home, moved a house onto a lot where I was the general contractor, and have completed my own 18 month 1500 sqft major remodel where the entire home was rebuilt from the studs, all mechanicals were redesigned and replaced as well as a complete redesign of the existing floor plan complete with custom built features. Let my experience AND additional national training and certifications of RCC (Residential Construction Certified) and CHNS (Certified New Home Specialist) help guide you in this process.

I sincerely hope you will take a moment to meet and interview me to see if we are a match. I promise to do my best in making the home buying and/or home selling process as painless and fun as possible.
